So, there was a time when EVs were considered toys. People who opted for electric vehicles were seen as a menace to society. However, with time, people’s thoughts have changed, and with the type of advancement in this electric vehicle segment, more and more people have been seen to get intrigued by the thought of owning an electric vehicle.
Just like that, there was a time when one of India’s largest carmakers, Tata, launched the Nano, which was not only India’s first Kei car but also India’s most affordable car with a price tag of only INR 1,00,000. Taking inspiration from the same, a company named Yakuza has launched its very own micro-electric car and has named it Karishma.
A walkaround video of the Karishma has surfaced online, highlighting the major pros and cons of the Yakuza Karishma.
- The video particularly starts with the ownership review and the breakdown of its exterior styling.
- Starting from the front, the Yakuza Karishma gets a gloss black grille and a set of connecting LED DRLs, along with a halogen bulb integrated headlamp setup.
- Moving to the rear, we get to see the stylish tail lamps, which are again halogen-based, along with a connecting LED light in the middle, which also acts as a parking brake indicator.
- The Karishma has a top speed of 25–30 km/h, which also confirms that with these specifications this bad boy cannot be registered.
- This electric powerhouse gets a 125KW electric motor along with a one-year warranty on the motor.
- It also comes with a 60V 45Ah battery and a type 2 charger, and it takes about 6-7 hours to fully charge.
- When fully charged, it can offer a range of 50–60 km on a single charge.
- Now, coming to its interior, this Mahindra e2O rival offers proper power steering, a push start/stop setup, an all-digital instrument cluster, a rotary gear knob, and power windows.
- In terms of its pricing, The Yakuza Karishma costs around INR 1-2 lakhs, however, this price can also vary depending on the type of discount available at the time of purchase.
